  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 burritos

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup cooked sausage or bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend recommended)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Meat: Cook the sausage or bacon in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced bell peppers and chopped onions. Cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble together with the sautéed vegetables until eggs are cooked through.
  4. Combine Filling: Mix the cooked sausage or bacon back into the egg and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine evenly.
  5. Assemble Burritos: Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the filling onto each one. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling, then roll up each tortilla tightly into a burrito shape.
  6. Wrap and Store: Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate if consuming within a few days, or freeze for longer storage.
  7. Reheat and Serve: When ready to eat, reheat burritos in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.

Notes

  • Wrap each burrito individually to make grab-and-go meals easier.
  • Freeze burritos for up to 2 months for optimal freshness.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite veggies or cheese.
  • To reduce calories, substitute sausage with turkey or plant-based alternatives.
